Mind Games{ReaderxLoki}(1)

Friday night was one hell of a night, you had gone to a Halloween party at Disney with a bunch of friends. Turns out the weather wanted to have fun to and it poured causing everyone in the park to get soaked in their costumes. But you and your friends road out the rain till midnight, when the park closed. You had collected a lot of candy and got on so many rides. There were plenty of pictures of the parade, with cast members and random photo ops. It was around 2am when you got back to the hotel, you were cold and exhausted. You shrugged off your costume and pulled on an oversized shirt to sleep in. You made sure to turn off your alarm clock so you wouldn’t be woken up at 6 am; you had nothing planned so you wanted to get sleep. Since you were exhausted you didn’t take notice to the pair of green eyes watching you from the corner of the room and with a small smile as he waited till you were asleep to make his move.

“(y,n)…”

“(y/n) you need to wake up…”

“Return to them, for me…”

The voice was familiar but you had no idea what they were talking about. Wake up, but you just fell asleep. You slowly opened your eyes and found that you weren’t in the hotel room anymore. You were still in a bed wearing an oversized shirt but where the hell were you. You looked around at the autumn leaves falling around you the scene was a forest in the fall. You knew you had to be dreaming, this couldn’t be real. You threw the covers off and slid out of the bed. The crunch of leaves is what you heard as your feet touch the ground.

“(y/n)…”

You quickly looked around to see who was calling your name. You found no one but the scene had changed. Winter, you were knee deep in snow looking out over a frozen lake. It started to snow lightly; you took a deep breath and saw your breath as you exhaled. You wrapped your arms across your chest even though you were not cold and stepped through the snow moving closer to the lake.

“(y/n) you need to wake up, don’t give up now…”

Again you looked around but no one was there. You tried to remember whose voice it was calling your name. It was a man’s voice; his voice brought chills down your spine but it was the good kind. What was his name? Why can’t I remember? You were now standing in a field of wildflowers it was spring. Your dream was revolving around the seasons but that still doesn’t explain the voice you were hearing. You smelt the different flowers each more wonderful then the last. You laid down amongst them and looked up at the sky, the clouds were like cotton candy puffy white masses about you. You noticed the clouds started to form a face.

“Return to them. Please come back to me…”

Another scene change, you were laying in the sand looking out at the ocean. The sun beat down and rocks formation jetted from the water, in the distance there were cliffs. What kind of dream was this? You wanted to know but you also wanted to wake up. You propped yourself up to stare out at the water when you saw it. A form was walking out, water like at first then slowly materialized into a man. He was tall, long black hair and wore royal robes that were green and gold. His eyes were a green almost like emeralds they locked onto you, you felt like you couldn’t breath. You knew him; you went through your thoughts to find his name. He continued to walk toward you as you did this. When he reached you his hand came up and caressed your cheek that’s when you knew.

“Loki…” you let escape your lips as you pressed into his hand.

His eyes lit up once you said his name and a gentle smile crossed his lips.

“I was wondering if you were ever going to say my name again (y/n)” He said leaning down to plant a kiss on your free cheek.

“Your not real Loki…this is a dream. You’re dead, Thor told me himself once he got back to earth. Your just a thought in my mind.” You realized there were tears rolling down your face.

“That hurts love but yes I was technically dead. I came back for you. I got news that you were in danger so I revealed that I was still alive just to be by your side.” He brought you into a hug.

“This isn’t real, I’m sleeping in a hotel room safe. I’m in no kind of danger at all. You’re not real but I really want you to be.” You hugged him tightly.

“You don’t remember anything do you?” Loki questioned pulling away to look at your face.

“What are you talking about?” you were confused.

“(y/n), love your currently in healing room in a deep sleep. They said it’s called a coma.” Loki said.

“What…you’re joking? I can’t be I’m asleep in a hotel in Florida. I spent last night with my friends. It was wonderful.” You laughed backing away from Loki.

“What were their names?” he asked.

“Wha…” you looked at him

“What were the names of the companions you were with last night?” His expression became serious.

“Oh it was…uh…um…” you struggled to name your friends.

You must’ve be going crazy how could you forget your friends names. You had spent a whole week with them you know their names.

“Your mind is trying to make sense of all that’s happened to you. It’s shielding from the truth and preventing you from awakening. You need to unlock the truth and wake up. I’m here to help you.” Loki took a step closer to you.

“What did happen to me? Just make this easier and just tell me, please.” You brought your arms to warp around you again this time to prepare yourself for what Loki would tell you.

“I cannot (y/n).” His eyes lowered to not meet yours.

“Why not? I think I can handle it.” You pushed for him to tell you.

“They already tried and you denied it by going further into your mind. They lost the connection to your mind because if it and not until recently have they been able to establish another connection.” He said.

“They”, he was referring to the Avengers you knew that. They had tried to wake you up but you couldn’t take it. What happened to cause you want to stay in this comatose state?

“Please Loki, I need to know. Try again for me?” You took hold of his hand it was warm, real. Dreams are never hot or cold but that was beside the point.

He sighed and the scene changed around us.

“What’s the last thing you can recall when you were awake? I can provide some information but you will have to unlock the memories yourself.” he asked

You took a deep breath and closed your eyes.

“I…I remember a mission…” you started.

“What else?” He said.

“It was a intel mission, gather and go but something went…wrong.” You closed your eyes tighter trying to force the information through.

“Yes you and Lady Romanoff where on a mission. Fairly simple but there were some complications. Come now what went wrong?” Loki pushed you to remember.

You eyes shot open and you found yourself in a warehouse. You felt a familiar evil chill run down your spine. Loki was still with you and squeezed your hand tightly.

“There was another telepath…I didn’t even know he was there till…” You stopped when you saw yourself running with Natasha to get out of the warehouse.

“I’m here (y/n), this isn’t real it’s just a memory it can’t harm you now. What happened next?” Loki stood behind you and placed his hands on your shoulders.

You had become tense; your body was reacting before anything happened in the scene in front of you. Natasha was supporting you as the both of you tried to make it to the exit. Suddenly Natasha fell taking you with her; there were no guns shots, no guards’ just one person.

“I wasn’t strong enough…he was too strong…” you started to shake.

The memory was becoming clearer; this telepath didn’t have make eye contact to get into someone’s mind. He had been able to put Natasha to sleep quickly but you weren’t going to let him do the same to you. You saw yourself struggle to turn over and make eye contact. The scene changed again this time is was a waste land, darkened skies and no other life beside you and the other telepath.

“Loki, what happens next…I…” you struggle with your words.

“It’s alright I’m here.” He whispered in your ear.

The battle began instantly, you thoughts manifested into weapons to use against the telepath. He returned all you advances and tried to break through your defenses. You held you own for a while till he broke through one of your attacks. A mind battle can’t do much damage to your physical form but it can stress the mind out. You stood there cringing at the hit you took. The fight went on and he was winning, the goal was to stress out your mind enough to make you weak and he could do his job.

“The end is coming up…” you said under your breath.

The telepath walked up to your weak form and brought you to stand. You threw a punch that didn’t phase him much.

“Give up” was all he said.

You threw your head back and laughed, making him give a confused look.

“Would love to, really but I’m not the one whose being held at gun point outside our minds.” You gave him a grin.

The scene quickly changed back to the warehouse. You were standing with a gun pointed at the telepath. He looked dumbfounded that you were able to get a gun on him while inside a mind battle.

“Didn’t think I could do that huh?” You let a sly smile cross your lips.

You watched yourself glance over at Natasha unconscious form and heard the sound of brakes just outside the warehouse. That was enough to distract you and have the telepath run up and disarm you. He had you by the throat and lifted you high.

“It’s over. Anymore tricks and it will cost you.” He spat.

You started walking to the two forms but Loki warped his arm tightly around you holding you back.

“It’s a memory you can’t change it, there’s no point in trying to help.” Loki said.

You wanted to help yourself and prevent what you were going to see.

“No…no…don’t let me see what happens next, please just let it end.” Tears were streaming down your face as you struggled in Loki’s hold.

You are telepathic and telekinetic which meant you weren’t completely helpless in the situation you were in. While in the air you brought the gun behind the telepaths head and cocked it. The sound made him tense but his grip only tightened around your throat.

“Wrong move, I’m sorry I have to do this but you left me no choice.” The telepath said.

The scene changed for the last time, as you were to face your worst fears. You watched as every member of your team died a horrible death and relived the ones you had already lost. Everyone you cared about, his or her bodies scattered the floor, and it was so real. Something in your mind broke there was a sound of gunshot and then darkness. Loki was still holding you tight as you fell to your knees and screamed. He turned you around and held you closer rocking you as sobbed.

“Shh the worst is over, everyone is alright.” Loki said.

You couldn’t take it, seeing everyone die and you not being able to help him or her. That stress alone caused your mind to shutdown, it was a fail safe you had trained into your mind should you meet another telepath with ill intentions. Your body would go into a coma like state and you would have to unlock your memories in order to wake up. Now you understood why when the team tried the first time to unlock your mind you denied it. Your mind and body wasn’t ready to wake up it was waiting. You had stopped sobbing at this point and just sat there in Loki’s arms in silence.

“(y/n), love are you alright?” He asked brushing aside some of your hair.

“I’m fine.” You quickly got up and brushed yourself off.

“What’s wrong?” Loki was up and by your side.

“I’m going to wake in just a few minutes, how do I know you are going to be there when I wake up. How do I know you’re not a trick my mind is fooling me with?” You looked at for an answer.

“I’m holding your hand right now, I am at your bedside watching you in the state your are in. Can you feel my presence (y/n)?” Loki said.

You glanced down at your hand, he wasn’t holding it but you could feel the warmth. You felt the pressure of a hand gripping yours. The scenery around dissolved and bright lights blinded you.

“I will see you soon my love.” Loki disappeared.

~~~Hospital Room~~~

Your eyes shot open and you raised your hand to shield yourself from the lights in the room. You adjusted and looked over to your left to find Loki sleeping in a chair near your bedside. You went to reach for him and call his name but you had very little strength to move and no noise came out of your mouth. You mustarded up a bit of mental strength and telepathically spoke to the sleeping god.

{Loki!}

He shot up so fast prepared for a fight when he realized it was you that called his name.

“By the stars you’re finally awake.” He came over to you and placed a kiss on your head forehead

{I can’t talk just yet, is it because my windpipe was almost crushed by that telepath?}

“Unfortunately yes but it wasn’t extensive damage, in a few days you will be able to speak. I must go and inform the healers along with the Avengers that you have finally awakened. I will return, I promise.” He kissed your hand as he left.

{I’m glad to know that you weren’t just a trick in my mind. I’m glad your alive and well Loki.}

“As am I.” He left with a smile.

~~~Time Skip 2 Weeks Later~~~

“So while in this telepaths mind you both engaged in battle. You had an advantage and that almost cost you your life. He broke you and you managed to shot him. I read the report over and I’m happy your up and doing well.” Director Coulson said.

“Yes sir everything is in the report, I’m sorry I made things difficult for the team when they tried to wake me but my mind was still sorting things out. I also didn’t know I shot him but that would explain the gunshot I heard in my memory. He wasn’t expecting to break my mind and have it retaliate. I’m just grateful he didn’t crush my throat.” You said.

“Well you and Romanoff made it out along with the intel you collected which helped us a lot. And we all surprised Loki is alive, him coming back was not expected.” Coulson looked over the table at you.

“Sir he’s not going to cause trouble I can vouch for him…” you started to say.

“Thor has been ordered to take him back to Asgard to serve the rest of his sentence. It’s out of my hands (y/n) there’s nothing I can do.” Coulson.

“He did you guys a favor and this is how he is repaid. I know he has a colorful past but this has to be some way…or something…” You couldn’t really think at moment.

“I know this is hard for you, I was able to delay his departure. He leaves in three days, he’s not happy about leaving either but he is cooperating for your sake.” Coulson told.

You sighed and left the briefing room, you didn’t run to find Loki. Instead you went to the training room, you needed to clear your mind a think of something to keep Loki out of jail.

“Jarvis, training sequence 27-Deca.” You said

“I’m sorry Miss (y/n) but you have not been cleared for training.” Jarvis denied.

“Jarvis, override Alpha Gamma Zulo Delta. Now activate the training session please.” You walked into the center of the room.

“Sequence 27-Deca initiated.” Jarvis responded.

The room changed shape and objects materialized, you practiced you telekinesis. Object after object you launched at the practice dummies. You knew Loki had a heart, he loved you. Why else would he risk coming back?

“Oh Frigga I wish you were still with us so I could talk to you, you always knew what to do even when Loki was led astray.” You muttered.
